Vacuum leaks? Yep... that's definitely caused by the fan clutch...

define heavy... Mines got 272 cam courtesy of the PO. I am gonna pull off the POV this weekend and modify it to take 13psi boost. Then I am gonna install my new MBC if it gets here in time. Gotta get ready for AutoX this sunday.

Oh no!!!
isn't that the only thing that was wrong with the 240 back in the day?
"vacuum leaks"
Is this going to be a circle?

Some porting, 5 angle valve grind, decking the head .020, new springs, and I'm still debating titanium spring hardware. I'm keeping the stock turbo cam... everything I've read says to keep the stocker unless the goal is over 400hp.

Make sure to mount your vid cam for AutoX! And take lots of pics.

I will get lots of pics, but I dont know how much I am running mine, it still needs bushings and what nots. I got energy suspension in mind, just gotta get the money up, and am still debating on buying the black widow pearl, bowling ball. So bushing may wait.

i like out side vids better than inside vids. also, an upgraded cam is going to help no matter what a larger lift and longer duration = more air flow so i would do it because its a cheap mod and will just help you reach your goal that much easier. besides, you and me both know there's no such thing as enough power
